The United Kingdom’s bee population has been under threat from the dramatic rise of Asian hornets. Experts are worried about the catastrophic consequences Asia hornets could pose to the local ecosystem. The dangerous insects have already arrived in the UK after taking over most of Europe.
A photo circulating on Facebook showed Asian hornets spotted in UK, causing fears among people as experts have warned that the deadly highly venomous insects are back in the UK. The Asian hornets first arrived in western Europe in 2004 when they invaded France, since then they have been reported a number of times by people.
